Datel's Wii Freeloader, which let owners of Nintendo's milky white console play games from other regions, is apparently incompatible with Mario Kart Wii much to the chagrin of importers looking to get an early start on the waggle-infused driving experience. Awesome online import store(and advertiser to us)Play-Asia, sent out an e-mail to everyone who pre-ordered MKWii on their site. Here's a snippet of the message:
Nintendo's beloved racing series has been around for more than three decades, but which are the best Mario Kart games?
Want to know what the best selling N64 games of all time are? Here's the top ten list, with many fan favourites and a couple of surprises.
Never understood what 64 meant. Can anyone enlighten me? All I know is my neighborhood friends and I used to play the crap out of it. Favorite games were Cool Boarders, Mario kart 64, WCW vs NWO just to name a few. Man life was simple and good.
A fan project allows Mario Kart 64 fans to experience one of the most prominent games in Nintendo history in HD.
Can't wait for Nintendo to strike it down, sue the makers, then sell the work to us for $50.
"this mod also has a low chance of removal due to copyright reasons."
Not sure how they came to that conclusion when the GitHub has copyrighted assets in the form of PNG files. Get it while you can.
Looks cool, but Nintendo will shut this down faster than you can say “it’s a me, Mario!” in your best Italian accent.
So many bitter little people on this site, personally I doubt Nintendo really care about your comments anyway.
is this serious or sarcastic? I swear this website confuses me on when they are being serious or when they are being sarcastic. It seems like whenever they are bashing something and get called out for it they are suddenly sarcastic. Moving along..
Typical Nintendo..still up to their old tricks I see.
nintendo blows; they're the only ones with a region locked console this gen.
i think its for real.. i heard of this b4..
also they have region exclusives cause of the online really. They have centralized servers and they want only people from the same continents to play with each other.. i think thats the main reason. i mean i would not wanna play with someone in EU or JP if there would be lag. I mean MARIOKART DS only had JP players for the first few months.. but brawl is a game that is not happy with laggy players.. and i'm sure 12 player MARIOKART will be the same..
so they lock teh regions.. everyone gets it in the end.. I mean We got PAPER MARIO first, EU got STRIKERS first. WE got BRAWL first, they get MARIO KART first. (however JP seems to get EVERYTHING first, which i don't like, feels like we're second best)
i dunno why they did it but it doesn't bother me.. as long as its here within a reasonable time frame
